Millions of people are unable to enjoy the comedy of life, because they are humorously challenged. Often, they suffer in silence, ashamed to admit that they don’t get the joke. Everyone should learn to recognize the symptoms and to help those unfortunate people who have trouble laughing. Friends do not let friends miss out on the joke. This is a curable and preventable illness. Maybe you are one of those who suffer in silence. Ask yourself these questions:1. When someone tells a joke, do you stand there saying, “I don’t get it.” while everyone else is laughing?2. Does everyone stop laughing and change the subject when you join a group?3. Do you laugh at inappropriate times while others aren’t laughing?4. Do you think that Saturday Night Live is a news program?5. Do you take sarcasm as a serious statement?6. Are you unable to laugh at yourself as well as others?7. Do you think that Bob Hope was the Secretary of State and that Bill Clinton was a comedian?8. Are you unable to laugh and make milk come out of your nose?9. Do you feel pain when someone tickles your funny bone?10. Do you think that this article is serious?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be humorously challenged to some degree. Not to fear, the cure is simple but may take years. To cure yourself from being humorously challenged, start by reading my blog at http://www.monteranderson-author.com. Once you can at least smile at my comments, start reading cartoons in the newspaper. (If you don’t know what a newspaper is, contact me privately.) Once you can understand the cartoons, you may try going to a comedy club and signing up for humorous blogs. With a little effort, you may be cured after a few years.
